How to respond to this text?

[WriterofDreams]

Hi all,

My baby is due on Christmas Day (yes I know excellent planning on my part ) and my parents who live in another country are planning to come over on the 1st of January (it's my first baby). I don't have a fantastic relationship with my mother but we have worked things out in the last year or so and we get along fine. Given that I know I'll be tired and worn out I've asked my parents to stay in a b and b rather than in the house with us. My mum seemed a bit surprised at first but now she seems ok with it. However, I just got a text from my sister (who I am NOT close to) asking why they're not staying with me and that how I treat my mum hurts her.

I don't know how to respond because my sister turns everything around to make out it's my fault. What could I say back to her?

I think B&B is the best solution for everyone. Your parents are close and able to be supportive but will be able to go home / escape and get a good night's sleep in the B&B.

Regarding the text as difficult as it may be I think in this case ignoring it is probably the best thing!

My sister actually lives with my parents in my home country, so there's no chance of them staying with her. Even if she did live nearby I doubt she would oblige, she considers herself the most "considerate" (her favourite word) person in the world and yet when it comes to actually doing anything for anyone she always has an excuse.

It's a cliche but you can't choose your family...you can distance yourself from a sister who is so negative though!
